This is a book that is a very good entrance text into the topic of Cultural Intelligence. I would like to see this as compulsory reading for every school student around the world.
Many easy to understand examples are included and clearly explained.
I can't recommend this book highly enough, especially to teachers and school librarians.

This book explores how to work with people from different cultural backgrounds. As such, it has a strong business focus, but there are also some good pointers on how to be mindful of cultural differences.

Compilation of various case studies to help the reader consider various differences found in many cultures and how that affects the work place and business expectations.
Why I started this book: Short and I was looking for tricks and techniques to help my own world adventures.

Difficult to rate; I think the quality of the experience and takeaways depends a lot on expectations. This book might be better titled 'Becoming Culturally Intelligent,' or 'Improving Your Cultural Intelligence;' ie, the focus is on developing a framework so that you can get the most out of cross-cultural experiences.
The primary framework offered for learning is a three step iterative process: 1) gain knowledge; 2) be mindful; 3) acquire the skills to adapt your behavior. The authors are clear f...more

This book explains the concept of cultural intelligence and why it's important, demonstrating the points with numerous situations/examples.
I read this book while studying for the Managerial Communications CLEP. While this book is helpful toward that goal, it would be more useful if I currently had the time or opportunity to experience another culture. My current hometown has a low level of diversity, which makes practicing these concepts much harder. HOWEVER, I'm still glad I read it, and I wil...more

Interesting book, some good thoughts regarding the term cultural intelligence, some good examples. Definitely got me thinking, but not really an eye opener.

This volume is surprisingly accessible, introducing core concepts related to how to perform and adapt within any variety of cross-cultural situations. I appreciate that the book does not get bogged down in organizational research and instead provides anecdotal vignettes (rather than extended case studies) to depict the kinds of issues that are relevant to cooperating with and within other cultures.

Far from a list on do and do not's, this book is excellent in teaching cultural mindfulness and creativity. I highly recommend this book for anyone. As the world globalizes and travel between cultures becomes more regular and rewarding you can benefit highly from the experiences of these writers.
I highly recommend this book. It is a must read for business people and those interested in other cultures. It was entertaining and insightful.
